The huge gantries have been lowered by crane on to barges below.
The Forth Road Bridge will reopen as a public transport corridor at midnight on Friday after work on a project to refurbish and upgrade the structure’s under-deck gantries.
The gantries provide safe working access for maintenance staff along the length of the bridge’s suspended span, but these were in need of refurbishment while one new additional gantry is being fabricated.
The route, which is now only used by buses, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians, has been closed to motor vehicles for most of the week while the gantries were lowered at high tide on to barges below.
However, the last gantry was moved on Friday and transported to dock in Burntisland, meaning the bridge could reopen fully.
